Anárion was the younger son of Elendil and the brother of Isildur. Like them, he was born and raised in Númenor, and he was counted among "the Faithful" that escaped before the deluge called the Akallabeth (Ad. "Downfall") in S.A. 3319. A year later, while at Pelargir on the Anduin, Isildur and Anarion founded the South Kingdom of Gondor (S. "Land of Stone"), one of the two King-doms in Exile. They reigned over Gondor as joint Kings while their father ruled Arnor in the North. Elendil remained the High-king of both lands, however, for they were as one land in the eyes of the founding Dúnedain. In S.A. 3429, Sauron's armies came out of Mordor and overran Ithilien. The Men of Gondor fell back across the Anduin and repelled the enemy's advance beyond the eastern bank of the Great River. Leavi
